< Ezequiel 28 >

1 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 Filho do homem, dize ao príncipe de Tiro: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que teu coração se exalta, e dizes: Eu sou um deus; no trono de de Deus me sento no meio dos mares (sendo tu homem e não Deus); e consideras teu coração como coração de Deus;
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 (Eis que tu és mais sábio que Daniel; não há segredo algum que possa se esconder de ti;
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Com tua sabedoria e teu entendimento obtiveste riquezas, e adquiriste ouro e prata em teus tesouros;
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Com a tua grande sabedoria aumentaste tuas riquezas em teu comércio; e por causa de tuas riquezas teu coração tem se exaltado).
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Portanto assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Dado que consideras teu coração como coração [se fosse] de Deus,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 Por isso eis que eu trarei sobre ti estrangeiros, os mais violentos das nações, os quais desembainharão suas espadas contra a beleza de tua sabedoria, e contaminarão o teu resplendor.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 À cova te farão descer, e morrerás da morte dos que morrem no meio dos mares.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Por acaso dirás: Eu sou Deus, diante de teu matador? Tu és homem, e não Deus, nas mãos de quem te matar.
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 De morte de incircuncisos morrerás, pela mão de estrangeiros; porque [assim] eu falei, diz o Senhor DEUS.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 Filho do homem, levanta uma lamentação sobre o rei de Tiro, e dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Tu eras o carimbo da perfeição, cheio de sabedoria, e perfeito em formosura.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Estiveste no Éden, o jardim de Deus; toda pedra preciosa era tua cobertura; sárdio, topázio, diamante, turquesa, ônix, jaspe, safira, carbúnculo, e esmeralda; e [de] ouro era a obra de tuas molduras e de teus engastes em ti; no dia em que foste criado estavam preparados.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Tu eras querubim ungido, cobridor; e eu te estabeleci, no santo monte de Deus estavas; no meio de pedras de fogo tu andavas.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Íntegro eras em teus caminhos, desde o dia em que foste criado, até que se achou maldade em ti.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Pela abundância de teu comércio encheram o meio de ti de violência; por isso eu te expulsei como profanado do monte de Deus, e te farei perecer, ó querubim cobridor, do meio das pedras de fogo.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Teu coração se exaltou por causa de tua formosura, corrompeste tua sabedoria por causa de teu resplendor; eu te lancei por terra; diante dos reis eu te pus, para que olhem para ti.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Por causa da multidão de tuas maldades e da perversidade de teu comércio, profanaste teus santuários; por isso eu fiz sair um fogo do meio de ti, o qual te consumiu; e te tornei em cinza sobre a terra, diante dos olhos de todos quantos te veem.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Todos os que te conhecem entre os povos estão espantados por causa de ti; em grande horror te tornaste, e nunca mais voltarás a existir.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 E veio a mim a palavra do SENHOR, dizendo:
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Filho do homem, dirige teu rosto contra Sidom, e profetiza contra ela;
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu sou contra ti, ó Sidom, e serei glorificado no meio de ti; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, quando nela fizer juízos, e nela me santificar.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Pois enviarei a ela pestilência e sangue em suas ruas; e mortos cairão no meio dela pela espada que está contra ela ao redor; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 E a casa de Israel nunca mais terá espinho que a fira, nem abrolho que cause dor, de todos os que desprezam ao redor deles; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor DEUS.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Quando eu ajuntar a casa de Israel dos povos entre os quais estão dispersos, e eu me santificar entre eles diante dos olhos das nações, então habitarão em sua terra, que dei a meu servo Jacó.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 E habitarão nela em segurança, edificarão casas, e plantarão vinhas; e habitarão em segurança, quando eu fizer juízos contra todos os que os desprezam ao redor deles; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR, o Deus deles.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
